Lake Wenatchee State Park

Washington State Parks, Washington

Lake Wenatchee State Park sits on the south shore of a glacial lake in the Eastern Cascades, with 204 sites spread across forested loops beneath tall pines and Douglas firs. The campground offers direct beach access, hot showers, and a mountain backdrop that visitors consistently praise. It's popular with families in summer, which means crowded weekends, close-together sites, and noise from kids and dogs.
